Oh, I definitely agree that there a lot of lingering questions about the future of the characters and their world, but I think that we’re left wondering and are even interested says a lot about the success of the series.  Rowling made it fairly clear that this was Harry’s story, though, so closing the focus back in on him in the end makes some sense, even if it comes at a price.

Just a footnote about Stephen Fry’s masterful reading of the books, compared to Jim Dale’s. Fry’s is the authoritative, brilliant, breath-taking read. He is alive to every nuance. I know that a lot of Americans like the Dale version, and he is getting a lot of publicity just now. But if you have a choice, do get the Fry, from amazon.co.uk. There’s no comparison.
